An active organization structure and all of its components can be cloned. When an organization structure is cloned, a new relationship linking the Position, Organization Unit and Users of the active organization structure is created for the cloned organization structure. Cloning allows the agency to create an identical structure including the organization units, positions and users as that of the active organization structure. When an organization structure is cloned, the status of that organization structure will be 'In Edit'. The agency can then modify the 'In Edit' organization structure as required without it impacting the existing active structure. Once the agency is satisfied that the 'In Edit' structure is complete, this can be activated. Activating this results in the existing active organization structure being superseded and the previously cloned structure being activated.
